Abstract:  To overcome the impact of low oil price on Chinese petroleum companies`s oversea strategic investment, to prepare for the risks and to improve efficiency in overseas oil exploration and development, this paper analyzes the background of low oil price and its trend, studies the measurements that international companies took for the low oil price, and summarizes the current overseas exploration situation of Chinese petroleum companies and global oil gas resources and trend. Geopolitical gaming and interest conflicts are the major factors in stirring the oil price. A good practice at the low oil price taken by international companies is to optimize assets in pursuit of co-integration effect, to diminish investment and to transfer oil gas business into low cost and low risk domains.
